How to safely blow your nose
Here is advice from those who know (doctors etc)!
Apparently most of us don’t blow our hooters properly, and this can lead to not just making us feel more uncomfortable with a cold, but can make ears pop, rupture blood vessels and even force air into the middle ear (not good).
So next time you come down with the sniffles:
- Place one finger against your nostril, and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other nostril into a tissue.
- Do the same on the other side.
- Wash your hands, to avoid passing germs onto others.
